Difference between a controller and driver

What is the difference between a controller equipment and a device driver? They seem to be the same other than a controller is hardware and a driver is software. Someone can give me a more accurate description of both and how are they different? It is really confusing to me, when I see the two terms used to describe something like a sort of controller driver. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello imann08,

You can get more information about the device controller > http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_controller

Device driver > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver

Hope this helps you.

Thank you and best regards.

  • Difference between the G20 and G25 models

    Hi people!

    I searched your laptop and I was amazed by the Qosmio.
    When I was going to order it, I noticed that there are many models of the G20 with different specifications. Also, I found G25 on internet research and found no difference between the G25 and G20 except receiver TV G25 is NTSC and G20 was released on March and G25 was in June. Instead, they have the same specifications for the hard drive.

    I live in the Portugal and the model Qosmio I can find that this is the G20-118. I was looking for the model that has 2 x 100 GB SATA HD, but cannot not thought about it.

    Internet research I found Qosmio G20-111 which has 2 x 100 GB SATA HD, but on the web page mentioned that it was a Pentium III processor (ridiculous, isn't?). I was looking for more reliable information.

    Already searched for toshiba pages and found no specifications for all models I found 490LS on the research on the web as the G20 - 102, 105, 106, 108, 109, 111, 118, 123,...

    Can someone help me with this? Are there any reliable web page where I can see the differences between the models? is there a .pdf or anyone who can please give me some advice?

    Money is not a problem at this time to acquire the laptop, I'm looking for only the laptop performance more!

  • What is the exact difference between secure mode and diagnosis

    I am repairing a pc and have done everything I can do in terms of diagnosing the problem. The only thing she shrinks down is to start in safe mode but not in diagnosis or vga mode. It is the same even when you use another defective hard drive. It must be a hardware component on the motherboard. I deleted and all the other components. I disabled designed in bios and Device Manager. What is the difference between secure mode and diagnosis?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    It was the capacitors on the motherboard that needed to change. It works fine now.

  • Difference between external tables and sql * loader

    Hello

    Could you please tell me the difference between
    tables external and sql * loader

    I have serached on the net but did ' get correct idea

    Please help me

    1 SQL LOADER can be run on the network (from any client computer), external tables can't

    2. return to the Oracle 9, external Tables could not load CLOB/BLOB (Oracle10 changed it)

    3 oracle 11 external tables have preprocessor, which is pretty dam characteristic cool - running essentially any OS command e.g. decompress before external table run. What's even better is the fact that the result of the operating system command is the source of the outer table, which means that there are no required temporary file (unzip the tracks and the output is the source of the external table). There are several ways to great use this - look at my blog for samples rare http://jiri.wordpress.com/2010/01/19/no-more-unix-scripts-in-11-2/

    4. as long as the 009 stressed, filed external load anything, they show just. Think of it more as load on request - it's great if you have old files archived and one or two users what to see content once a while

    5. external tables require no user access to the operating system, it is oracle environment pure - this may seem minor but for me it's huge. The fact that the ETL needs no special unix, no control file command and uses the simple SQL and DDL is nice and important

    6. external tables can load more text files, Oracle export dump files can be loaded, perhaps in the future more formats will be supported (hopefully all right excel format?)

    now the same thing to kill the myth - the TWO are EXACTLY the same when it comes to speed, I would actually drive of the external tables before will be faster because sql loader is old technology oracle doesn't really develops more

    A message.
    An email received or sent is a message.

    A conversation can be launched with a message.

  • What is the difference between the password and access code

    I get all the IDs and passwords and none are accepted

    "I received message' iPad requires your password after restart", but it does not accept passwords

    What is the difference between the password and access code

    Standard codes which block the iPad are 4 or 6-digit. You can set a more difficult to decode, personalized access code / password in the settings using letter and numbers if you wish.

    A password is a series of numbers, symbols and letters that a user putting in place to protect the information in a frame, a web site, e-mail, etc. This may actually be a word or series of words, if you wanted to set up in this way.

    Your iPad is looking for this 4- or 6-digit code. If you can remember, you must restore the device so for free.

    If you have forgotten the password for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple supports

    I found this comparison:

    Hi snicker_1,

    There are many differences between these models and also, there are different R700 and R630 models on the market.

    In my opinion, you should check these notebooks from Toshiba Web site. There you can see what models are currently available and the configuration.

  • Jack screw part number clarification: difference between 187949-01 and 187949-10

    We bought a few jack live, Mfr P/N 187949-10, but the parts are labeled 187949-01. What is the difference between-10 and -01. Are parts of the same, but differ only in the amount of packaging? Thank you.

    Hi Mwong,

    Thanks for the post and I hope that your well today - welcome to the Forums of NOR.

    I'm sorry to see that you have not yet received any support.

    Looking at the site, ni.com, here, I found this information,

    Specifications and manufacturers for Council mating of connectors

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/8ECF4BAD615F18BC8625648400521E97

    (1) 4 piece Kit of screws for connection cables 187949-01 locking screw

    (10) 4 piece Kit of screws for connection cables 187949-10 locking screw

    That is why the differences between the 01 and 10 is the number of kits.

    However the link here.

    http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/43771DBD89FADB7B86256BC90053EC08

    "The kit contains 40 screws and washers (enough to convert the two ends of the).
    10 sets of cables). The part number of the kit is 187949-01 "

    But I guess that goes back to were you waiting for 1 or 10 sets?

    I hope this helps.

  • What is the difference between the IO and line?

    Hi all

    I'm using Labview 7 and in my mahcine I have an installed 6013 card. However, there was an interface card designed by someone else long ago, on the table, only AO0, AO1,..., A07, DIO0, DIO1,..., DIO7 were printed. In the program, I saw some code to write to digital Line.vi allows you to send data to the digial io. Say that I write for DIO 3, so I understand here DIO 3 means the channel of e/s 3, but online? What is the difference between the channel and the line? When I write the data to a single channel of e/s, are us wriitng a byte or a bit of it? Thank you.

    A channel is usually used with inputs/outputs analog.  Each AI or AO is a string.

  • 8.5.1 LabVIEW Student Edition - differences between the Mac and Windows versions?

    Hello

    I just bought the student of LabVIEW 8.5.1 version and I use Mac OS X 10.4.11. What are the biggest differences between the Mac and Windows versions, since the box came with a CD of installation of Mac and a Windows DVD Installer?

    See you soon

    Looks like you got the LabVIEW Student Edition Software Suite DVD.

    It comes with 6 boxes to tools, and the TME product, some (or all?) of those who are windows only (at least 8.5), for example:

    • Toolkit Digital Filter Design
    • Modulation Toolkit
    • SignalExpress
    • ...

    Since you have 8.5, you are missing also a few basic things that only recevied at the 8.6MAC support, like Mathscript, Control design and Simulation and native 3D graphics.
